***MONOPOLY ABUSED"
Holding that the monopoly rights under their patents have been abused by the Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Company, a special tribunal of the Patents Office have decided to exercise their powers for the compulsory issue of certain licences at rates lower than those offered by the Marconi Company, ak
The licences were sought by Brownie Wireless Company, Ltd. who desire to put on the market two-valve receivers at a lower price than those now ruling. In announcing their decision in fa- vour of the Brownie Company the Tribunal "sayında da M

But apart from specific evid ence the larger question must in any case arise, because the terms offered to the applicants are the terms on which the majority of the 2,000 licences have been granted, and if they are unrea- sonable terms in relation to the applicants it would prima facie seem that they would prejudice the trade in general⠀⠀⠀
Although, however, the conclu sien at which we may arrive may logically involve the implication that the applicants have establish ed the general case of prejudice to the trade of a class of persons as well as prejudice to their own trade, we have in fact only, one specific application to deal with, and this decision tan go no für- ther than to define the relief to which the applicants themselves may be entitled,
